GstDecodeBin:decodebin0:decodebin cannot decode plain text files error

General

Hi
Unfortunately, I cannot play any stream on my Mopidy version 2.1.0 installation on RPi 3 (2018-06-27-raspbian-stretch)
The config is default, changes are only in http enabled and stream enabled.

aplay and gst-launch-1.0 working well and I can hear sounds.
I installed Mopidy from pip and AudioAddict added.
When I tries to start play any radio stream I got error in mopidy log.
I tried to install mopidy from apt - result the same :frowning:

Could you please suggest how to ifx that?
Thanks

My config in any case:

mopidy deps output:

I think (my memory is awful) we get those when the playlist is malformed and canā€™t be find the streams so it defaults to text. Can you provide the full log showing what itā€™s fetching and ideally the playlist file itā€™s downloaded? I donā€™t have an account with these guys to try it.

Hi @kingosticks
Sure. I uploaded debug log from start to issue at dropbox:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/w58o9hi1xn5g1e6/mopidy.log?dl=0
I used playlists that were generated by AudioAddict extension ( in my case I used streams from di.fm ) but the same error in cases when tried to play other stream urls

UPD: some direct urls working well, for example: http://stream-bg.net:8020/AlphaRadio
Itā€™s looks like AudioAddict extension is not working well

In additional ā€¦found weird behavior
when I add direct stream (http://stream-bg.net:8020/AlphaRadio) the sound plays and all good, further tries to use any stream from AudioAddict ( got error ) and further try to uses first stream again - the error still present adn need to restart mopidy.

OK, well I can explain some of this weirdness. The latest release on pypi is from 3/11/14 which is missing some rather important code added back in 4/10/15 (and explains why your debug log doesnā€™t match the source code).

You could install the development version straight from github but even that doesnā€™t work properly, all the streams it gave me are dead:

[playlist]

File1=http://pub6.di.fm:80/di_atmosphericbreaks

Judging from the open issues the extension doesnā€™t seem to be maintained and I guess the AudioAdict API has changed.

Ok, thank you very much @kingosticks for explanation and quick response.
very sad that this extension not maintained now :frowning: and not working out of the box.
Thanks.

Iā€™ll ask for the project status and then if someone has time to resurrect it they can do so (it wonā€™t be me).
